Crystal Lewis

I am an education researcher with over ten years experience in project coordination and supervision, as well as data management, analysis, and reporting. I am happiest when working at the intersection of K-12 education research and coding, helping researchers and practitioners obtain insights that improve student outcomes through clean, reliable, and documented data. I am also passionate about helping others organize their data and reporting through reproducible workflows.
